        @BedCruncher c32 is pxelinux files as far as I know.

        You’ll probably need to chain it or something.

          Do you have a link showing how to do that with the new FOG 1.3 boot menus?

            @BedCruncher Try changing kernel to chain

            Could be enough, not sure.

              Just changed. Will have to wait a bit before I can test that. I’m also upgrading that laptop to W10 to beat the deadline. Will post back once I can try again.

              EDIT:
              After modifying the menu entry as you wanted me to do, I simply get a black screen with blinking cursor.

                What’s the variable for ${boot_url} set to?

                    @BedCruncher Try chaining the menu file. Or maybe isolinux.bin

                      Tried both, menu.c32 gives same blinking cursor. isolinux.bin provides the following.

                        @BedCruncher Alright, so essentially, isolinux.bin is the correct one to use, but you need to edit isolinux.cfg so that it can boot over the network and doesn’t get stuck looking for the CD.

                        Unfortunately, I’m not entirely sure how to do that properly, if it’s even possible at all.

                        Also, I notice you shared hdt/isolinux folder contents, but what’s in hdt itself?

                          the folder hdt is simply the mount point for the iso. It houses only the subfolder isolinux which contains the folder contents listed above. I will delve into the isolinux.cfg file to see where I can tweak it.Will report back with anything I can find.

                            OK!!! Houston we have liftoff…

                            I was able to get this working by completely ignoring mounting the iso at all and instead doing what I had found in another forum with directly using memdisk and the raw iso. My working config for this is as follows
